[Reporter Yang Guowen/Taipei Report] KMT Legislator Chen Yuzhen’s brother-in-law and Kinmen County Police Department Criminal Police Captain Cai Qihao were accused of applying for a 4-month stay without pay in 2019 on the grounds of “serving relatives”. He went to assist his wife’s family business to sign a project contract and inspect the project. The Ministry of the Interior determined that the violation was clear and transferred him for punishment. The disciplinary court believed that Cai Qihao violated the regulations on not being able to work part-time, and was inconsistent with the regulations of the “Civil Servant Leaving without Pay,” which also harmed the police. The image should be punished. Today, Cai has been recorded twice.

It is understood that Cai Qihao applied for a 4-month stay without pay from May 1 to August 31, 2019, on the grounds of "serving relatives". However, at the end of May 2019, Cai Qihao assisted his wife Chen Yuling's family business "Hai Rui Construction Co., Ltd." negotiated and signed a project contract with the manufacturer, and also assisted Hai Rui Company in leasing the project on June 28 of the same year.

The Kinmen County Police Department was reported to believe that although Cai Qihao asked for leave to stay without pay, he was suspected of having three illegal part-time jobs and made false statements during the investigation process. After reporting to the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of the Interior transferred Cai to a disciplinary court for punishment.

The disciplinary court held that Cai Qihao was involved in three violations, all of which were inconsistent with Cai’s reason for staying in the job and suspending pay for "serving relatives", and also violated the regulations that civil servants are not allowed to work concurrently, and violated Articles 6 and 15 of the Civil Servant Service Law. The image of the police organization is necessary for punishment. Today, he will be recorded twice.

There is also an appeal.

Cai Qihao did not appear in court this afternoon.

The media once reported that Cai Qihao, a high-ranking police officer, has repeatedly come forward to coordinate his wife’s family business, causing dissatisfaction among the public.

The disciplinary court has yet to announce the verdict.
